The second round of Senior championship fixtures took place last weekend. We were hoping to bounce back from our narrow first round defeat with a victory over Bruff. In a game we lead from start to finish we got off to a good solid start, Mike Fitzgerald opening the scoring inside the opening 2 minutes. Darragh O'Donovan and Pat Ryan scored from play with Cathal McNamaras free taking keeping the scoreboard ticking over. Midway through the half our dominance was justified with a well executed goal from Mike Fitzgerald with Liam Ryan and Darragh O'Donovan doing great work for the build up. Niall Maher, Micheál Ryan and again Mike Fitzgerald added further points in the half to give us a lead of 1.13 to 0.05 at half time. The second half started in similar fashion with Cathal McNamara opening the scoring with his fourth point from a placed ball. Our defence were holding strong throughout and also goalkeeper Darragh Stapleton making good saves. We continued to score freely with subs Dean Coleman rattling the net with a well taken goal before Barry Murphy hit the last score of the game.
